Looking on the bright side, I've made BBC Food - Recipes - Oxtail stew for tea, having spotted the oxtail reduced in Sainsburys last night

Love oxtail stew, but the version I use from the Leiths cookbook takes me two days to make. Tastes lovely though.

One of my local butchers in blighty used to give me some for free as no one ever bought it from him.

I've finally had the job offer from the company in Oz !

And now I'm starting to have 2nd thoughts

Big step, but could be a great experience.

Borscht?

Nope, me own recipe with smoked paprika or if you're feeling inclined you can smoke the beetroot.

Having to remind myself that "It's getting dark" no longer means "It's just past the middle of the afternoon"

Should I mention that I've never bought anything from them?

Though ZeitMater, during one of our infrequent snow storms some years ago, purchased a remarkably mediocre loaf of bread from them.

You'd be lucky to even get a mediocre loaf of bread from them now....

When they did sell it, they were Chorleywood process, which is not Real Bread

Heavy traffic outside and the police helicopter's buzzing about. Apparently the association football company have visitors tonight

Big sis reaches half a century on Wednesday. Have left it somewhat tardy to procure a birthday present.

Was thinking about what she might like - have vague memories of her liking a perfume that my dear late departed father referred to as "Anus Anus".

Googling turns up Anais Anais and the bottle looks familiar.

So I google shopping Australia and find several sites that promise free delivery to Oz. You go through the whole checkout process, only to discover they've added 40AUD for delivery.

Why is there no amazon.com.au?!?

Appears that I may have inadvertently ordered more anuses than strictly necessary. What does one do with a spare anus?

Talk out of it in General (specifically)?

Nice fry-up for tea

All the soccer people have just been trailing past on their return journeys. Well, maybe not all, as some presumably came from other directions; but lots.

Ahh that's why they are restructuring.
